Do all Kontesa12 cups have a "wrapped" bar attaching the gold handle to pot(not solid like 6 cup)&sloppy welding showing spaces?

Not sure what you mean about a "wrapped" handle. My oldest one has the gold handle. I doesn't look sloppily attached. On my newer one I opted for the plastic handle - not as attractive, but it doesn't get as hot and even though the gold is more beautiful, I was going for function over style. They both work great, but do yourself a favor and do not use the handle to unscrew the pot - it's not designed for that and will likely eventually break off. These are the best stainless stovetop pots I've been able to find and have been using them daily and exclusively for about seven years now. I've tried others over the years, but always return them and come back to the Vev. Not sure what you mean about a "wrapped" handle. My oldest one has the gold handle.

Mine was perfect in every way, but I got the one without the "gold". Beautiful craftsmanship.

My stove top that I commented on previously has two wood strips attached to the steel handle attached to the pot. My hands are not that big but I can manage to pick it up with spilling or dropping the whole pot. Being careful not to drink too much caffeine I still make a pot every now and again to appease my taste of a great cup of coffee, just like my dad used to make in the mornings. If your hand is too big just get a dish towel and pick it up. Oh, if you have the time tell me if that Copco's 4 to 8 cup percolator's handle is made of, plastic or wood.

The handle has a hook at the top that hooks over the glass pot. It is very secure. This is a great pot. I would buy it again. I should say will buy it again. It is simple to use and keeps the coffee hot. I use it at least once a day.

We received ours (2) and they don't have the little coffee cups on them. We bought this one SPECIFICALLY for this detail, over other plain ones!

There is no exposed aluminum. Also - handles never get hot. We have two homes - with All-Clad at our townhouse - and I almost burned myself because I have gotten used to the Cooks standard that we have at our home

The handles are screwed on, this is the second pot we've gotten the first have an older type non-stick surface and gave it up after years of heavy use. We had never had a problem with the screws loosening.

We have an older model that doesn't have a metal coffee drawer, so I don't know. The cups do work well in our Keurig and we like what we are getting.

No handle.BUT！When the cup is poured into the warm water and cover tight lid, the cup is Water Leakage when horizontally.My friend bought a the same cup, she said it does not Water Leakage.

No place for water in the handle. I don't have the model you have, however, mine is the 10-cup Everyday.

the handle does, but I have to use a pot holder for the lid as it got real hot.

There is 2 small plastic or rubber parts on the inside of the pot that is there to keep the handle on. You have nothing to fear about this coffee pot. I've had this for a couple of years now and have had no problems with taste or function and the coffee tastes great and it makes a hot cup of coffee!!!! Joann

No, the handles are too large on the pot. My only disappointment as we're traveling with ours.

their have a v shape pour area or spout. I only thing I found is the print washed off the middle cup. They are great buy I use them all the time Use clear finger polish over should keep the printing from coming off. I have used Anchor Hocking measuring since I was a kid learning to cook. Hope this helps

Just checked mine. 36 quart purchased July 2015. The handles are indeed welded, but the lid is flat, not domed as show in the photo.

did quick comparison of carafe shape and diameter looks ok, but handle and cover seem different ..better question for manufacture

No, everything was there. Mounting was not a problem, however it is way overpriced on Amazon (several hundred dollars cheaper on line) and it leaks coffee all over the place when you remove the pot before the brewing cycle is complete. My old B&D did not.

It has a metal screw. You can remove the screw, (which is good for cleaning) but then the glass will separate from the handle, and it'll be hot so it might be difficult to reassemble and pour.
